    Important note! Twitch's VODs (from which all the gameplay footage was captured) are heavily compressed and are a much lower quality than the actual live stream. Looking back I probably should have screen recorded the actual stream but it's 7am, I've been editing all night, I'm out. Enjoy the video!

    This video helped me a ton. I've watched several other videos to help me optimize my settings, since I'm streaming from a crappy laptop. I had no idea my internet was ALSO an issue. Such easy little fixes, and although I'm not streaming at the same quality as those who stream on better computers, lag was not an issue, and for ONCE, Streamlabs wasn't yelling at me for dropped frames/lag/etc. I'm no longer chomping at the bit to buy things I can't afford. For now, this is enough. Thanks!

    Deeply appreciate the videos man! Every single one has been immeasurably helpful!
    Possible topic or question about something I've been trying to figure out. What's the best way to go about networking with people and/or getting your name out there (without being a douce haha)? I'm already doing the grind, playing games I want and such, and got the stream going decently well imo. I'm honestly not doing it to try and make a career of it, just trying to have fun and meet new people and communities, but it's hard to do some things without viewers. Example, Dead Cells stream integration. Tons of fun, but useless without people.

  • @mikparker2572

    I found my livestream to lag for the first time since I started so I looked for solutions and after searching numerous videos yours is by far the daddy. One video was close with the alerts etc but you explained the layering and rendering which even though I’m not overly tech savvie I totally understood. Thank you sooo much for this and it’s now time to put it into practice. Fingers crossed 🤞. Great video as usual.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

      Maybe check your framerates in your Video tab to see what FPS you're using in recording or streaming

    • @tyisafk
      @tyisafk 4 года назад +3

      It entirely depends on what you're doing as well, and can narrow down to hardware. I have two capture cards. One is specifically for retro consoles and the other is for HDMI. The one I use for retro consoles has HDMI, and even DVI and VGA inputs, but for some reason the HDMI capture drops frames (Not severely, just enough for those sensitive to microstutters like myself). My Elgato HD60S is smoother for HDMI purposes. So I use the Elgato for HDMI consoles like the WiiU and Switch, and the Startech USB3HDCAP with modded drivers I use for native 240p input over component for my retro consoles for near emulator quality from real hardware. Originally I was just using the USB3HDCAP, and while microstutters won't matter for most people, it was driving me up the wall and I'm glad I hadn't gotten rid of the Elgato that was supposed to be replaced.

This video was a huge one for me though, because recently I've had framerates dropping rapidly during live streams.

I'm still going to upgrade my computer, because hell yes, but thank you for helping me solve the issue sooner!

  • @Konixity
    @Konixity 5 лет назад +41

    First off, amazing video as always. Something I've experienced which has caused myself to have lag issues is a simple tick box on the Advanced settings on the Output tab. It is called "Enforce streaming service encoder settings" if you're still experiencing issues, try un-ticking that box. It may help. Also, for people running with the NVENC H.264 Encoder (Graphic Card) on the Advanced tab there is also a tick box called "Use Two-Pass Encoding", un-tick that box as well. These are just two other tips for peeps, however if you follow what Harris is saying, i'm sure this will eliminate most issues.
